Used to dump my cereal milk down the drain, now I keep a little notebook and rate every bowl

For years I would just tip the bowl over the sink without even thinking about it. Then about 5 months ago my roommate handed me a spoon and said "try it before you pour it out, you're wasting the best part." I tried it with a bowl of cinnamon squares and the milk tasted like a melted cinnamon roll, so I started keeping notes on my phone. Now I have 41 bowls logged with a score for flavor, sweetness, and how thick it feels. My best one so far was a chocolate peanut butter cereal that left milk tasting like a milkshake, easy 9 out of 10. My worst was a plain rice cereal that just gave me slightly sweet white water, a 2 at best. Does anyone else keep track of theirs, or am I the only one with a spreadsheet going?
